well... fucked my car up last night... wasn't planning on going out, ended up being talked into it... on the way home it blew the coupler off the tb so hard that it dented my hood and knocked some paint off... so I guess I"ll be ordering a cf hood. Broke the damn t-bolt the other day so I had a worm clamp there... Guess 22psi has some force behind it

use hairspray on your couplers.

22psi, Paul I bet with that you are around 400whp! I demand new videos now!

lol... need someone to hold the camera,
that hairspray idea sounds pretty good... might try it out. Probably rip the whole car apart again next weekend and go over everything to get it all good for the dyno on the 25th. Might even get some runs in next friday night.
**** was scary last night when it happened. all I heard was a really loud bang from the engine compartment, car wasn't making any boost and my cruising afr was a 10.0:1 had to keep speeding up and slowing down to keep it from flooding out (33 mile ride home) didn't realize what happened til I got back home

Paul do you have welded beads or a lip on your charge pipes to prevent the coupler from blowing off? We had to do that on my buddies WRX, and I did it on my Integra. Since then he hasn't blown a coupler, and I have never blown one. I also use constant tension clamps instead of t-bolt ones.

damn man that sucks big time.. however breaking **** just gives you a reason to replace things lol, you have a black car so i think CF will look sick on your car... maybe get that extractor hood ( the one that is flush with the read of the hood and has 2 holes) ? or the oem replacement one

Did you clean out your underwear yet? I sure hope so because I know I would've **** my pants if that happened.

lol yeah came close to poopin the pants right there.... but I expanded all the ends with a pipe expander to make the seal really tight. Just so happens I had put on the bigger TB the other day and didn't have a 3.5" t-bolt clamp so I had used a worm gear clamp...... guess which one blew lol. But yeah when I do all the piping over for the gt3076 I"ll have lips welded on all the piping ends.

oh definitely
Car is back up and running as of yesterday afternoon, some on guys you know I waste no time lol.
As for the hood looking to get a cf oem style... keeping the car clean and simple on the outside... maybe tints too down the line but that's it.
Car is atill running a little funky though. now my idle afr keeps bouncing. Gotta go over everything again soon to find any leaks if there are any
